▪ Roughly 53 percent of the voters in the Rasmussen poll thought of the governor unfavorably. This result has been seen throughout many of the polls this election season.

▪ Fifty-eight percent of voters thought Kansas was worse off today than it was four years ago when Brownback took office. Not a very good number considering the governor’s re-election theme has been the “Kansas comeback.”

▪ Most Kansans don’t trust Brownback with taxes, another bad bellwether given that income tax cuts are his seminal achievement during his first term in office. The Rasmussen poll found that 48 percent of voters trust Davis on taxes compared to 42 percent for Brownback. Ten percent didn’t know.

▪ The effort to exploit Davis’ presence at a strip club during a drug raid also does not appear to be sticking. On ethics and corruption, 45 percent trust Davis compared to 40 percent for Brownback.
